Brno chance?
With all the Le Mans hoo-hah dominating the weekend news, this one nearly slipped under the radar.
But we're pleased to report that TG legend and all-round good bloke Alessandro Zanardi has won a WTCC race and finished second in his best race weekend since he lost his legs back in 2001.
BMW 320s-driving Zanardi took the Race One victory after starting from pole and thoroughly out-driving team-mate Porteiro.
In Race Two the Italian was just pipped to the win by Tarquini's SEAT. However, Zanardi claimed the fastest lap by half a second. Half a second in the WTCC is a massive margin!
Tarquini heads the WTCC standings on 58 points, with Zanardi back in 12th. Recent MBE recipient Andy Priaulx is the highest placed Brit on 34 points.
